SUNDAY’S JOURNAL
CARRIED PICTURES
The Atlanta Journal of yesterday
carried nine pictures of those who
participated in the May Day fete ex
ercises staged at the playground the
first Saturday in May.
The first picture was that of lovely
little Catherine Smith, the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Smith.
Miss Ruth Comer, crowned queen
of May, follows, and very regal look
ing she is with her crown of gold,
with which she carries the flowers of
royalty, the queen lily.
Little Elizabeth Lindley, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Lindley, is
driving her prettily decorated doll
carriage and at a glance it is difficult
to tell which is the doll and which is
the litle girl, so pretty is the setting.
Little Jane Luthey, daughter of
Mrs. Mildred Hollis Luthey and grand
daughter of Mrs. Florence Hollis, is
a vision of smiling loveliness in her
splendid equippage of flowers, seat
ed beneath the shade of a pink para
sol.
Little Evelyn Horton is a happy ri
val in smiles, for she acknowledges
her happniess by her bright face.
Betty Giddings, in her royal cart
covered with brilliant flowers and
drawn by Nannie Claire Speer is a
bit of dimpled loveliness as she glides
along over the flower strewed path
way of her life.
Vivian Easterlin, holding on her
arm her little brother, Jack, makes
a pretty picture with her carnation
dress and pink hat to match.
Thurlow Evans, Jr., looks very se
date and matter-of-fact sitting on his
automobile, seemingly unconscious

UNUSUALJONDITION
Texas Lady Suffered With Palling
and Aching Pains in Her Back,
Which Cardui Relieved.
Houston, Texas. —Mrs. C. B. Cook, of
1312 Whitty Street, this city, recently
said: "About four months after my
marriage, I . . . began suffering much
pain, and knew that my condition was
unusual, but couldn’t just decide what
was wrong. I had to go to bed. . . .
"All across my back and hips were
pains, pulling and aching until I could
hardly sit up. I stayed in bed a few
days. My husband had heard of Can
dui . , . so I told him he might get It
"After I had taken Cardui a few
days, I was up. I took five bottles and
haven’t been in bed since for this
trouble, for if I have the least symp
toms of this trouble I get Cardui and
take it in time.
"I have a number of friends who
have used Cardui, and they recommend
4t very highly.”
The experience of this Texas lady
is similar to that related by thousands
of other women.
Cardui is purely vegetable, and mild
and gentle in its action. Cardui may
be the very medicine you need if suf
fering with wc manly troubles.
Take Cardui. NC-136

Spanish Prison Game Swindler,
Posing as English Cousin, Picks
City Clerk Eldridge as Victim
The old Spanish prison swindle
game is still at work and last week
a victim was sought in Americus in
the person of City Clerk E. J. El
dridge, who received from a “cou
sin” of whom he had never heard—
one “Edward Eldridge”—incarcerat
ed in a prison in Spain, a letter of
appeal for protection for his daugh
ter, aged 14, in return for which he
offered him one-fourth of his fortune
of 75,900 pounds,, which he had
secreted. He being in prison, he says,
he communicated with the outside
world through a priest whom Mr. El
dridge is told to address in the quick
reply which is solicited so that he
may aid the priest in whatever way
is necessary for the recovery of his
hidden fortune. The letter is post
marked Madrid. It is written in the
most broken English, at times almost
unintelligible, the sender making a
poor representation as a near rela
tive.
The Spanish prison game is one of
the oldest forms of swindle known.
The writer always addresses some
one unknown, sometimes as a rela
tive, sometimes as one to whom he
has been referred, but always a per
son who is believed to be able to
command a few thousand dollars.
There is always a hidden fortune, and
once negotiations are opened there
is an appeal for the few thousand
dollars to aid in obtaining this for-j
ers,” who are touring Sumter county
Mrs. Johnson has arranged a number
of bright selections for the pleasure
of the guests, among which will be
“The Arkansas Traveler.” Miss Clark
will sing “By the Waters of the Min
netonka,” “Prince Charming,” “Way
Down in Arkansas,” and “The Old
Red Hills of Georgia.” The banquet
will be held in the large dining room
of the Windsor hotel, and a number
of guests will be present.

My Dear Sir and Relative: I take '

due to my grave health, as I know j
you only for the information gave 1
me by my deceased father, Mr. I
Thomas Eldridge, your near kins- '

niece, a girl of 14 years old who is

As you strictly watched for my
enemys and the situation in which
I am placed I beg you of, not re
veal to nobody the most insigni
ficant detail of this letter.
Being Capitain of Engineers in
the Spanish Engineers in the Span

father I was agregated to the Eng

Mr. Wooten Thinks Much of ZIRON Because
It Made Him His Old Self Again.
Sick people do not get much out of life.
In order to enjoy your meals, to do your
work well, you must be strong and
healthy.
Pale, weak, nervous people frequently
need iron to enrich their blood and to re
rtore vitality to their system, and a good
way to supply the iron is to follow the
example ot Mr. Clayton Wooten, of Scot
land, Ga., who used Ziron Iron Tonic and
has this to say about it:
"1 have taken Ziron according to direct
ions and I can truthfully say that it is a
line tonic. It has done me all the good.
Since 1 began taking it, 1 have galnedeight
pounds in weight and enjoy eating three
meals a day. I shall do all 1 can to re
commend Ziron.”
Try Zironl Your druggist sells Ziron
on a guarantee to refund your money if
the first bottle fails to benefit. You can
not lose anything, but very likely wil
gain much, by getting a bottle of Ziron,

REAL ESTATE IS THE FOUNDATION
FROM WHICH ALL WEALTH
IS PRODUCED
Farm lands are the foundation or all real estate values. There
fore agriculture is the most important business under the sun.
Population is almost always on a perpetual increase. Consumption
per capita has been on the increase for many years. The two caus
es have forced agricultural products up and th< y will remain high
for several years, probably fifteen to twenty years.
We need not expect early depreciation in prices of good lev
el agricultural lands, such as are found in Sumter and adjoining
counties. These lands will produce more of the actual necessary
products at less cost than they can be produced any -/here else in a
truly healthy and civilized country.
Improved machinery can be used on most • f these lands, thus
reducing the cost of production. We have good schools, many
churches, good roads, railroad facilities are good, citizenship fine.
In fact a glorious country to live in and be happy.
These lands will continue to increase in value and production
from year to year, from century to century. Gold mines will be
come exhausted, oil wells fail to yield oil, but these level lands will
bring forth much fruit so long as time lasts.
Nature seemed to have selected this particular section of
Georgia as her favorite child. The oil fields of Texas, and the gold
mines of California cannot offer such inducements as this section of
Georgia does. When you buy these level, productive lands, you are
not only making the best, the safest investment ever offered any
people, but you also are buying an inheritance for your children,
grand-children, and even your great grand-children. The real farm
ers now have the best opportunity in this section ever offered any
class of people since Columbus discovered out glorious country.
